And yes another green blooded 4-Her here! In fact just tonight finished working with our 9 yo non farming grand daughter on a pillowcase project tonight. Their fair is in another state on Labor Day weekend.
And yes to what QuiltE has said. As a former 4-H leader I had town kids and farm kids in our club. Non farm project areas included photography, Visual Arts, horticulture (aka gardening), citizenship, leadership, camping, to name just a few. Our 2nd year 4-Her GS exhibited 2 dairy calves, entered his dog in Dog Obedience show, exhibited 2 photos, a woodworking project and participated in the "Cookie Challenge" where all entrants cookies using the same recipe.
As a county fair judge I evaluated many exhibits that were non farm in nature. 4-H is not just for farm kids, and teaches kids to "Learn by Doing". They make goals, create a plan, carry out those goals and plans, then look back and review what they have accomplished and what they could do differently or improve on. 4-Hers learn to interact with adults who are not their parents or their teachers at an early age. This aids in developing their public speaking skills as well as building their self esteem. You don't give kids self esteem, you show them how to earn it.
Yes I have lots of 4-H memories over the 50 years I have been involved in 4-H as a member, leader, parent, and now and alumni 4-Her who wants her grandchildren to be a part of this organization.
Go to your county extension office and ask for information on joining 4-H. They will be delighted to help you find a club for you to participate in.
